Hi I have a problem with my hair being really thin. I've always had this but after having my 3 kids it's become a lot worse. My hair is almost see through at the back of my head and you can see my scalp and it looks like i'm balding. It is really getting me down and it makes me feel very depressed:-( After doing some research about hair implants i considered buying a wig but i would be horrified if it came off or people could notice? Any advise anyone.xx

Hello, I just wondered if you have considered taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement? Holland and Barrets have lots for different problems with hair , nails and diet. Also consider eating more protein as hair is mainly made of protein. This may take a while even a few months, but i really think it would make your hair thicker and healthier, hope it helps, x

Ive tried vitamins and all they do is make the hair you already have grow faster it doesnt help the hair become thicker. This problem is very depressing now and the gp just says it's how my hair is and to keep changing my shampoo. When my hair parts at the back it looks like im bald! i dont have patches but you can see my scalp as my hair is so thin. I hate it and im starting to wear hats now just to hide it!!:(

Firstly, have you had your thyroid tested? My hair is balding and it is as a result of thyroid. It is a very common symptom. I have about 1/3 of my hair left. Sometimes it grows back a little, but then sheds as soon as my thyroid goes out of whack again, which is often! At the mo it is bad. I cope by cutting my hair very short, and wearing scarves and brazening it out! Here is my blog about it:Fenland witters: hairless wonders

I do find it very distressing at points, and it does affect your confidence, I know. I thought about a wig but then decided against it. I just go really short now.

I would really advise getting your thyroid checked, though.

I wear a wigs from moramode.com due to a medical condition. It is a difficult time when you start loosing your hair. It does knock your confidence especially when your in a group of women talking about hair etc...I tend to do a homer and take a few steps back imagining I there is a garden hedge behind me I can hide in. I can laugh about it now because the wigs I use are very real looking but I do sympathise with others as I still have those moments.
